Yeah, I can't wait to get out there, and now that i've had my accident, i don't have to worry about getting some body damage anymore, so it should be even better.

Hi everyone, I am a long time reader, but first time posting. I just had a question? I would love to come down for the weekend trip but i dont want to/cant register for 2 reasons.
Reason #1
from the looks of the sign up thread it doesnt seem like to many superstock/stock vehicals are going. Is this true? (i wouldnt want to show up and be the only superstock out there and slow you guys down.)
Reason #2
i cant register (dont know about work situation) but i still want to come.

would it be okay if i were to not register and come and see eveyones rigs then just go out and do my own thing? and if some superstocks show up i can join them?

ive been to moab several times including 2005 ejs and only being 3 1/2 hours away i try and go when ever there is a chance, even if its only a day trip, and this looks like a good excuse to go down there.

 

[JTX]

I dont see why not, You would have to talk to Gerald or Rick. Try pming them. Even if your stock you could still join us. I believe there is a couple other stock rigs going and you may be able to hook up with them and do a couple easier trails.

 

[GJarrett]

There's no problem, come on. We've always had reservations for Moab because it is usually a large run and we need to know how to guess for dinnver resv/etc. I've learned though that the true count of who actually shows up is usually not very close to the estimate.

I believe another rig or two will be stock/superstock that you could run with (the only thing that worries me about your post is that I would strongly recommend that you NOT go out alone on a trail). We'll be glad to see you!

 

[techieman33]

I'll be going out there stock, so you won't be alone.

Hello again, thank you every one for the replies. I'm hoping to come down for this, its sounds like a blast! i love it in moab, never want to leave once i get there. I'll see how the work situation is, it might be a last second thing and ill be cruisin down friday night but if not i will register for sure(dont want to register and not end up coming, sorry for sitting on the edge!)

Hey Gjarret, sorry to mislead you, i've learned from other peoples mistakes :roll: and never plan on wheelin by myself. Hopefully my buddy with his J*%p can join me in the fun.

Once again thank you everybody, love the sight and use it a lot, hopefully i'll meet everyone in moab!

I want to come again this year but I want to do something different. I want to ride along on the hard trails and maybe only do a easy trail or 2 with my Explorer. Would any of the big dawgs/extreme rigs have an empty passenger seat I could occupy??

I also wont have much of a chance to prep my Explorer for the trails as I am leaving for a racing comp this Sunday and wont get back untill the end of the month leaving me no time to do the stuff I need to do to it.

Hey Gjarret, sorry to mislead you, i've learned from other peoples mistakes :roll: and never plan on wheelin by myself. Hopefully my buddy with his J*%p can join me in the fun.

maybe we could go together i live across town from you... im also in the same work situation.

 

[410Fortune]

there is always an open seat on the big dawg runs

 

[Cheesebrat]

ill see if i can go, i would love to ride along on the big dawg trails. my X is still stock.

Im in a dilemma here, tight now im running 4.56 gears in the front and 3.73 in the back. My problem is i have the money to get the back regeared and everything i just dont know if it worth it. I plan on swapping both axles out this summer and i know even with the 500 bucks im gonna spend to get the rear regeared i could never sell it for half that. What do you guys think i should do? I have ran the gear setup how it is for almost 4 months and had no problems. I even hit the 4x4 button on the road by mistake once with the front hubs locked. That wasnt very fun but nothing broke suprisingly. As long as the tires have a little slip it should be fine dont you think?

 

[offroader_69_me]

NO joey do not go to Moab with those gears like that there is NO slip on the rocks, you WILL break something, more than likely the T-Case, either do the gears or find someoen with a stock 3.73 F end and slap back in there,

Hey I have one of those laying around, I could bring it if you want!

 

[JTX]

I have the gears that were stock. I dunno what im gonna do, may just not go, your correct on the slippage part.

 

[offroader_69_me]

not go what are ya CRAZY??????????? $500 for a R&P install seems high, shop around a little slap those babys in and lets ROCK!!!!

 

[JTX]

lol, I have been looking. I think i found a guy that said he could do it for a 100 bucks labor but im really trying to save my money. Ill see what i can do. Where MSupertech when you need him? He could talk me threw the hole install in a 5 minute telephone conversation.
